Why does CW hold the fundraiser dinner?
As a single event, this is CW’s most important source of funds.
Without the dinner, dues for our 500+ player members would increase by more than 100%. We believe keeping dues reasonable helps keep the game broadly accessible.
The Gala provides a unique opportunity for community connections to be forged and rekindled—bringing together members, supporters, alumni, and friends in a way that few other Castaway Wanderers events can.
For special seating needs or to donate a ticket, advise the organizers at senior.men@cwrugby.com.
If you have an item for the auction, please contact lindy.vanalstine@smus.ca
(The 'Sky's the Limit', with a variety of donations we welcome).
This is a special night; we do hope you can join us!
